Invisalign aligners generally work well with full dental implants. Despite concerns about implants being fixed and unmovable, Invisalign can adapt. This is because these aligners target only specific areas of the teeth at a time. So, for many people, Invisalign aligners and dental implants compatibility is not an issue.

To understand how Invisalign aligners can work with your dental implants, it's best to schedule a consultation. During this consultation, you can get tailored advice for your unique dental situation. There may be circumstances where there are no viable workarounds though, like if:

• The implant is situated close to the malocclusion (under certain conditions)
• More than two teeth are implants (not always a dealbreaker, but sometimes can be)
• Little to no natural teeth are left

Implants can ??t be moved, but this is not a limiting factor, as the rest of the teeth that needed to be moved, will be. Aligners will work around the implants. To arrange this procedure, schedule a complimentary consultation with an experienced licensed orthodontist. They will have the expertise needed to pinpoint the appropriate treatments needed for your oral health needs.

Aligners are an excellent choice for cases with missing teeth!

If you don't have any dental implants or other tooth restorations, your orthodontist might suggest waiting until after your orthodontic treatment. This is because tooth movement during treatment can affect the outcome.

In cases where there are missing teeth, the orthodontist can use plastic pieces that look like natural teeth. This is a temporary solution that helps until the treatment is done. It fills the gaps and deals with the problem right away.
